Conan Exiles: The Massive "Age of Heroes" Update Transforms it into a Masterpiece

on

Conan Exiles is an online multiplayer open-world survival game set in the brutal lands of Conan the Barbarian, blending sorcery and visceral combat.

With the recent massive update titled "Age of Heroes," player convenience and core gameplay elements have been significantly improved and expanded.


Game Overview

  • Title: Conan Exiles: Age of Heroes

  • Release Date: May 8, 2018

  • Developer: Funcom

  • Genre: Open-World Survival



The story follows the protagonist's journey to remove the "Serpent Bracelet"—a green-gemmed shackle signifying exile. Attempting to remove it forcibly or leaving the designated "Exiled Lands" results in instant death.


DLC

Most DLCs in Conan Exiles focus on cosmetic skins for gear and building pieces. Purchasing them allows you to craft structures inspired by Aquilonia, the Khitai (Eastern), and Egyptian-style temples.



Unlike other DLCs, "Isle of Siptah" offers a completely new map. Starting on this island provides a more condensed and focused experience, making it easier for players to grasp the game mechanics compared to the vast Exiled Lands.


Game Systems

Since there are no forced quests, use the 'J' key to access the "Journey" system. Completing these milestones is the best way to learn the game and earn valuable rewards.



Each level-up grants Attribute Points; investing 5 points unlocks specific "Perks." You also earn Knowledge Points to unlock "Feats" for crafting gear and buildings. Be strategic, as points are limited, though you can reset them later using specific potions.



The Thrall system is the game's standout feature. You can now attract NPCs to your settlement by building a "Bar" and hiring them with gold. Alternatively, you can knock out enemy NPCs with a truncheon and break their will in the "Wheel of Pain."


The Thrall system is arguably the most compelling feature of Conan Exiles. By building a "Bar" in your settlement, various NPCs will gather, and you can recruit your favorite ones by paying them with gold coins.

To capture a Thrall, you can raid enemy camps, knock out a desired NPC using a "Truncheon," and bring them back to your "Wheel of Pain." After some time passes, their will is broken, and they become your loyal servant.

Additionally, you can easily acquire new followers by rescuing NPCs imprisoned in the cages of rival tribes.


Once acquired, Thralls can accompany you as combat followers or be stationed in your settlement as guards or specialized crafters.


When assigning Thralls to crafting stations, placing generic Archers or Fighters will only provide a basic reduction in resource costs without any special benefits.

To unlock high-tier, specialized equipment and maximize resource efficiency, you must assign professional crafters such as Cooks, Smelters, or Carpenters to their respective stations.



Final Thoughts


Conan Exiles boasts one of the best building systems in the genre, offering enough depth to enjoy the game through architecture alone. With consistent updates since 2018, it has firmly established itself as a must-play title for survival game enthusiasts.
